Rio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui gira intorno ai bar
C'è chi si chiede se è tutto quà
Perchè sa che non basterà
L'oceano
Sta chiamandoci di là
E qualcuno ha risposto già
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e a volte capita
Ballare come in messico
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e si dimentica
Sogna d'essere dove vuoi
Le luci
Sono piene di zanzare
Ubriache a brindare
C'è sangue dolce qui tra noi
Le note
Che muovono i bicchieri
In questo angolo di stranieri
C'è un balcone sul Messico
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e a volte capita
Ballare come in messico
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e si dimentica
Sogna d'essere dove vuoi
Hola mariachi hola mariachi
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e a volte capita
Ballare come in messico
Stasera gira margarita
Stasera gira e si dimentica
Sogna d'essere dove vuoi
The song "Margarita" by Rio depicts the atmosphere of a typical bar where people are questioning the meaning of life and wondering if everything is enough there. They hear the call of the ocean and some have already answered it, wanting to go to Mexico. The lights are filled with mosquitoes and people are intoxicated, toasting to each other, their sweet blood mingling. The music moves the glasses and there is a sense of being foreigners in this corner of the world, but there is a balcony overlooking Mexico, which suggests a sense of longing to be somewhere else.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Stasera gira Margarita" meaning "Tonight, Margarita spins," which could be interpreted symbolically as the spinning cycles of life, or perhaps the spinning of the drink in someone's hand. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the idea of letting go and forgetting everything else, of dreaming to be somewhere you want to be. The mariachi influence in the song adds to the Mexican atmosphere, adding to the longing of the song.
Overall, the song "Margarita" by Rio is a romanticized portrayal of the Mexican culture, where people can let go of their troubles and just dance and drink, forgetting about their everyday problems. It emphasizes the desire to escape to a better place and to feel alive and carefree.
